Lesson Links

The Annunciation announces the Incarnation, and in this packet with five lessons we learn how the two events are linked and how any event that appears to be centered on Mary is actually centered on Christ, as Mary always brings us to her son. The packet explains in conversation between Mary and Gabriel and why and how Mary is "full of Grace" and the dogma of the Church that Mary is "ever-virgin". There is a discussion on the name of Jesus and why the angel requested that the name be Jesus. Also in this packet there is a Sacred Art activity which goes through the symbols and meaning of the Annunciation based on popular paintings.Key Words / Themes: Mary, annunciation, Jesus, greetings, Mary’s virginity, ever virgin, siblings, Fiat, yes, Gabriel, mothers, King David, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, consecration to Mary, Totus Tuus, son of the most high, angelus, double greeting, ark of the covenant, sacred vesselFormulas of Catholic Doctrine: The Third Article of the Creed: conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary The Hail Mary: Hail Mary, full of Grace
